G0ULD'S DILEM MA.
The Great Railroad Monopolist
Besieged By Anarchists.
he Is Importuned to Prevent
the Drama of Nov II.
The Reason for His Departure
to Europe.
could ed.

New York. Oct. % An evening
paper prints a story in which it connects
the departure of Jay Gould for Europe
with the approaching execution of the
Chicago anarchists. The story says: The
anarchist leaders fixed upon Gould as the
man who, by a bold and liberal use of his
enormous money power, could stay the
hand of justice and prevent what they
look upon as a slaughter of martyrs.
Absurd as this notion is, they have not
hesitated to act upon it boldly. At first
Gould was approached in a neutral rather
than threatening, manner. The reliance
OF the anarchistic brotherhood Upon his
great power and upon his exercise of it in
their behalf was set forth in mysterious
communications which he received, some
times by mail aud sometimes by the hanf 8
of furtive messengers in the streets. AS
time passed on and the case of the con
demned seven men became more desper.
ate, the anonymous messages became
sharper in tone and of a distinctly threat
ening character.
After this change of attitude the mails
alone were used for their transmission,
none of the letters being delivered to Mr..
Gould in person. Latterly the warnings
have been of so decided a character and
so explicit in their terms that Gould. who
is not naturally a man of a timid DISPOSE
ton, became thoroughly frightened and
began somewhat hasty preparations for
his long contemplated pleasure trip to
Europe. His departure to-day is believed
to be chiefly due to his entire and natural
willingness to pass the day of the maj
chist executions somewhere remote from
the reach of any possibility OF their in
sane misdoings.

The Selections Rejected.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29 Acting Sec,
rotary Muldrow to-day rendered a deci
sion rejecting the lists of selections made
by the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany of about $1,000 acres of land in
Washington Territory, on the ground that
the lands in question we're not included
in the grant to that company under the
joint resolution of congress of 1870. The
acting secretary holds that the lands in
question had been included in a prior
grant to the Oregon Central Railroad
company, which grant was forfeited by
the action Of Jan. 81, 1885, and they now
form a part of the public domain.

Great Brltain's Defences.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-Sir Charles Dilke's
first series of articles in the Fortnightly
ReUieto on the British army renews the
alarmist views that Great Britain is un-
prepared to cope with European powers.
Sir Charles argues that the expenditure
of f3, 600, 900 for new rifles and f2, 500.-
900 in fortifying military and commercial
stations is an absolute necessity, without
counting the ACCESSIBILITY of organization
and equipment. He further believes that
an expenditure of from f3,000 900 to
f5, 600, 900 in terrifying positions around
London will distinctly pay.

A Slightly Better Tone.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The cattle market
is without material change so far as prices
are concerned. Supplies of such stock as
shippers seek are light. and only a very
insignificant proportion consists of beeves
that class prime. As a natural conse.
quence the market for these descriptions
maintains a steady one. Some statesmen
think it stronger, but there have been no
sales that looked any higher. Extra
beeves are pretty nearly nominal in the
absence of offerings, and choice fat ami
mails sell readily. This, however is en-
tirrly the result Of their scarcity, Eastern
advices containing nothing warranting
any improvement. In off grades trade
Is as unsatisfactory as ever. The market
is still away overstocked with thin, rough,
halt fattened stuff, that nobody appears
TO want.
Country shippers are losing money
right along. Shippers here have very
limited orders, and dressed beet firms are
operating quite cautiously. Statesmen
think themselves in luck to secure pre-
vIous low prices for their oonsignments,
and have to work hard to unload even on
that basis. Almost every day there are
twice as many common cattle In the yards
as there is any demand for, and of course
business drags, concessions having to be
allowed in many instances. Fat ,l00(9
|. $40 pound steers are the most salable,
cattle weighing over 400 pounds meet
ing with very little inquiry. Thin stuff
weighing l.05U(9 l, $50 pounds goes at
81 1908 rs. These pri .es look low and
they are low, but the wonder is that an
outlet can be found at any price, for such
vast mum bers as arc being put on the mar
ket.
From So. 75@3 90 for rough thin lots
sales range up around 1926 for fancy, but
there is only here and there a bunch
having the quality to fetch oyer 81 50.
That figure buys a choice article. La ely
certain New York buyers hat formerly
would not look at anything below /, 500
pounds and of prime quality have been
filling their orders from second or third
rate stock costing SO. 50CG3.S5. This is a
new departure.
Native butchers stock is no lower and
1t is useless to look for any improvement
so long as receipts of rangers continue at
their present proportions. The heavy
loading up" of last week has left trade
very quiet. The market is in a rut and
prices are about as low as they can get.
Stockers and feeders are in fair demand
and steady. Receipts con inue rather
greater that the demand. but it does not
seem probable that intending buyers will
long have an opportunity to secure desira-
able young cattle at the prices now ruling,
at least yard spectators are doing consid-
cradle buying from day to day.
Range cattle are in ample supply and
only fair demand. Texans and Westerns
comprise about two-thirds of the entire
daily supply, and naturally the feeling is
weak, although prices are not notably
lower. Next weeks arrivals, it is expect
ed, will show a considerable falling off
from the recent nor runs. Droves
from Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Da
kota and Colorado bring 81 25(63 60,
while Texas steers go at 81. loop. 10.
Buyers for dlstilleries are taking a large
number of rangers, while Texans con
tlnue to go to the canning houses.

The Play Tomorrow Night.

To say that the audience at Ford's was
amused beyond measure last night with
Neil Burgess and Vim would not fully
express the fact. The house was filed
with people and the people with laughter.
The play instead OF being called Em,
might well be called Laugh" and it
owes all this to the central character, Mr..
Burgess as Tryphena Puffy. He is natu-
raj, realistic, even artistic. For pure,
simple, uproarous, s~ide-splitting fun,
nothing in Washington has ever sur
passed YIN.

In the name of humanity, and in the

Chamberlain Starts for America.

LONDON, Oct. 90 chamberlain start
ed from Birmingham to day on his way
to America to take part in the fisheries
negotiations. Before leaving the city he
addressed a crowd which had gathered 10
see him off. He said he hoped the rela-
tons between England and America would
continue cordial. He also said these
might be the last words he would ever
address to his hearers, and he advised
them to stick firmly to the Union and
maintain the inheritance bequeathcd to
them by their forefathers. The greatest
enemies of the commonwealth, he de-
clared, were those who would do ANYTHING
to weaken or impair the integrity of the
empire.
An official denial has been made of the
rumor hat President Cleveland had re-
quested Lord Salisbury to cancel the ap.
pointment of Chamberlain to represent
England in the fisheries negotiations. 1t
is announced that Chamberlain is assured
of a cordial reception bv the American
authorities, despite the attacks made upon
him by interested parties.
Upon the arrival of Chamberlain at
Liverpool the station was cleared and the
public was not admitted. The station
was strongly guarded by policemen. A
number Of detectives followed Chamber
lain from the station, it being expected
that an attack would be made upon him
in the streets. He was cheered and
booted as he passed along.

to day by the Etruria, will be accompan-
led by two English detectives, who at

A Skeleton on a Train.

ELMsA. N. Y, Oct. ga box of
bones, which proved upon examination to
be the skeleton of a woman, was found on
a Lehigh Valley wild train this morning
Conductor Raymond says he stopped his
train Just outside of the city limits of
Elmira and that the box was not on board
then. When next he went over his train
at Waverly he found it, and he concludes
from this that the ghostly freight must
have been put on board at Elmira. The
general opinion here is that the skeleton
came from some doctors office or medical
institution.

BOYCOTTING UNLAWFUL.

The State Supreme court has Just rem
dered decision which is of great interest
to employers and the public. The case
grew out of controversy between the
Ryegate Granite Co. and its employees.
The respondents were indicted on the
charge of ''hindering and preventing the
Ryegate Granite works from taking into
their employ sundry workmen by repre-
senting to them that the shops of said
company were 'scab shops and that en-
ployees therein were 'scabs,' and would
be stunned and avoided by reputable
workmen, who would not associate with
them, and that their names would be
published in the 'scab list of the Granite
the prosecution of the business of the
granite works was impeded and him
dered." Judge Powers, who wrote the
opinion, says that "the exposure of le-
gitimate business to the control of an
association that can order away its en-
plOyees, and frighten away others that it
may seek to employ, and thus be COM
PEELED to cease the further prosecution of
its work, is condition of things utterly
at war with every principle of justice and
every safeguard of protection that citi-
zens under our system of government are
entitled to enjoy. The direct tendency
of such intimidation is to establish over
labor and over all industries a control
that is unknown to law, and which is eX-
erted by a secret association of conspira-
tors that is actuated solely by personal
considerations, and whose plans, carried
into execution, usually result in violence
and the destruction of property" The
court says, further, that the attempt to
intimdate and boycott was a criminal
conspiracy.

MOLE AND COMMENT.

Because of recent revelations of eXten-
sive lobbying in Massachusetts the papers
are crying out for biennial sessions. with
the notion that that will remedy the
trouble. 1t doesn't seem to make much
difference in this State.
The Congregationalist is alarmed be-
cause seven out of eight foreign mission
aries sent out last week were women, and
says: "But why this dsproportion in the
new appointees? Does this look as if the
cry of alarm, lest women mOnopolize the
foreign missionary business, were al
together needlessY"
A Washington dispatch says that a man
who has taken pains to talk with every
congressman who has been in the city for
the last three weeks says that they have
been unanimous in the opinion that the
interstate commission has acted in oppo-
sition to the wishes of Congress in sus-
pending the operation of the section rela-
tive to the long and the short haul, and
that the expression of opinion was quite
general that If the commission shall per-
sist in this course, an attempt will be
made, Immediately upon the reassembling
of Congress, to repeal the provision which
gives the commission the power to sus-
pend the operation of section f.

strange as it may seem after rubbing in
the liniment twice day for nearly five
weeks, the cords were entirely relaxed
and the leg Strengthened. Several
months have elapsed since this occurren-
ce took place and yet the knee joint is as
serviceable as the other, with no tendency
to become stiff again.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

We find it impossible to fulfil our agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in
advance at this date. SO many OF our friends
came around to settle mp and take new start
that it has used up about all the time we had
to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears. 1t would obviously
be unfair to cut Off those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF
expiration does not appear on the paper; so
we have decided, in order to do justice to all,
to continue to send out statements of their
standing to delnqucnts, and then they will be
cut off if they do not heed the call.
our supply of wood tar exceeds the demand,
and no more will be received on subscriptions
